Disclaimer: sigh I don't own any of the Naruto characters but I do own a picture of Sasuke that I have on my computer. =]
Author : Im SO SORRY for the delay in updating !! First I was really busy with family stuff and friends. Then my computer had a virus, which I tried to fix myself and I only made it worse. After that I started writing this chapter but then the damn virus made my comp shut down before I was able to save it. Then we took mty computer to best buy (thinking they could fix it) but all they did was charge us 60 dollars for some stupid test they ran on my computer that didn't do anything except confirm that I had a virus (Damn best buy ripped me off !!). So then I just took my comp home and restored it which caused me to lose all my files (including all my naruto mangas, stories I wrote, and all 800 of my songs !!). Well now my computer runs perfect so here I am with this chapter. Okay, that's enough of my mindless babbling that most of you readers don't care about anyways, lol. And again, So sorry for the delay in updating !!
Neither of them had noticed the deep dark pair of eyes that had been watching them so closely. And neither of them noticed as those eyes followed them in the shadows filled with jealous rage. Sasuke couldn't believe what he was hearing. 'Sakura and Naruto staying at Sakura's place tonight ? Hurrying home to do what ?!' Sasuke couldn't deny it anymore. He knew now that he really cared for Naruto. And from what he was feeling, he realized he couldn't stand the idea of Naruto being with anyone but him…
Sasuke followed Naruto and Sakura, his eyes never leaving the blonde. He had that annoying girl cradled in his arms and he seemed to be whispering in her ear. 'What's going on ?!' Sasuke had lost complete control of his normally calm composure and he looked absolutely furious.
"Naruto-kun ! That tickles !" Naruto's warm breath was sending tingles down the pink haired ninja's spine and she couldn't stop herself from giggling. He was whispering something along the lines of "… if someone were to see us they would think we are a couple hurrying home to-"
"Stop thinking dirty thoughts !" Sakura yelled but she couldn't hide her amusement as she smiled up at her blonde friend. 'Me and Naruto ?' She would have laughed at that idea just a day ago. Now the thought didn't seem so unbelievable. She was still completely and hopelessly in love with the Uchiha boy but Naruto wasn't so bad himself. 'If he cleans up a little, he would actually look kind of cute.' she thought to herself.
"Hey Naruto-kun stop, this is my house !" Sakura began searching her clothing for her keys.
"Don't worry, Sakura-Chan. I'll use my super strong taijutsu skills to kick open the door !" Naruto exclaimed. He began to kick at the door as if it were an opponent, not hearing Sakura's protests at his actions. Sakura jumped down from Naruto's arms, when the door swung open and he had finally stopped kicking it.
"You baka, I found the keys !" Sakura yelled. She wanted to sound angrier but one look at the blondes face sent her anger away.
"I'm sorry Sakura-chan …" Naruto put on the most innocent and sorry face he could.
"It's fine." Sakura sighed inwardly before stepping into her house, with naruto closely following.
Naruto looked around the small living room. It smelled like a girl - like cherry blossoms. The room was nicely decorated in shades of light pink that contrasted the pure white carpet. Naruto was scared to step on the carpet, 'If I get it dirty sakura-chans gonna kill me.'
"I'm gonna shower, make yourself at home." He heard Sakura say before a door clicked and he started to hear water running.
Hearing the words "make yourself at home," Naruto's first thoughts were to go to the kitchen and find some ramen. Much to the blonde nins dismay, Sakura's kitchen was full of healthy food. He searched long and hard before finding a single cup of instant ramen. 'Oh beloved ramen, how I've missed you so !' Naruto poured hot water into the cup and patiently waited for his favorite food to cook.
Minutes later, with his cup of soup in hand, Naruto explored what he thought to be Sakura's bedroom. There was a large bed with light pink silk sheets in the middle of the room. And next to the bed was a nightstand with perfume, some flowers, and a two picture frames. Naruto sat on the bed to look at the pictures. He first picked up the frame of Sakura and her family. Still eating his ramen - Naruto gazed at the picture. He wondered what his own parents looked like and wished he could have picture of them together looking so happy like the picture he held.
The other picture frame held a picture a Sasuke. It wasn't a very good picture since he wasn't looking at the camera and he had a scowl on his face, 'Still, he looks handsome' naruto thought to himself.
Outside, Sasuke was up a tree looking down into Sakura's room. The dark haired teen watched Naruto examine the pictures and thought he was crazy for following his two annoying teammates home. It was pathetic really, worrying what Naruto and Sakura would be doing together. And even something was going on between the two, what could he do ? It wasn't as if he could just tell Naruto how he felt. He had just realized his feelings himself and he could hardly accept it. Sasuke continued to watch Naruto until Sakura walked into the room. She was dressed in just a towel, she was standing there talking to him like there was nothing out of the ordinary ! 'What is she doing ?!' Sasuke cursed the fact that he couldn't hear their conversation.
"Sasuke-stalker !" Naruto yelled jokingly at Sakura.
"I'M NOT A STALKER !!" Sakura yelled back. She was standing in her towel with her hands on her hips looking quite frustrated.
"Yeah right ! Look at this picture of Sasuke right near your bedside. And your eyes follow his every move when he's around." Naruto pointed his finger at her accusingly. "I don't know what you see in him, im obviously so much better !"
"Yes, yes you are Naruto." Sakura said sarcastically. "Now that I think about it, I don't see why I hadn't fallen madly in love with you."
Naruto stepped closer to the pink haired girl, pulled her into a hug and teasingly said "Yeah , but now you see the error of your ways. And your already beginning to fall in love with me right ?"
"Gasp, was it that obvious ?" Sakura answered, still being held in Naruto's arms. She started to laugh before she stepped away to get dressed.
Sasuke watched the scene from the ground close to the window. He had moved to get a closer view and hopefully be able to hear what the two were saying to each other. He hadn't heard everything but caught some parts. " …don't know what you see in him, im so much better." " … already beginning to fall in love with me right ?" " … obvious?" The words themselves hurt but watching the pair was what really caused his pain. Naruto had said those things and was able to smile, hold Sakura, and laugh about it all at the same time.
Sasuke stepped away from the window. He had seen enough to know that his feelings for the loud mouthed blonde were pointless. And there was no way that he could ever tell Naruto how he truly felt. He walked home thinking about Naruto, trying to erase his feelings and the hurt that he felt.
Author : Aww, my poor Sasuke ! Don't worry Sasuke, I still love you ! But anyways, the chapter didn't come out as well as I hoped it would. I was kind of rushing to get it out. Sorry again !! And as always, Reviews and constructive criticism are welcome ! =]
